Bite-Sized Ficathon is Go!

[stunt_muppet]

Aaaand I completely forgot about this. Ha.

Anyway, about a year and a half ago, who_otp ran a mini-mini-ficathon, and there was much frolicking with strange pairings and elaborate summaries and finely-crafted works of tiny genius. So I thought, why not have another one?

With that, I'd like to declare this post a

Doctor Who Bite-Sized Comment-Ficathon: Round 2!
(The Minis Strike Back)

The Rules:

1. Post fic in the comments
2. Fic should be no longer than 40 words.
3. Title and header info doesn't count towards those 40 words, so make those as long as you please.
4. Profit! Repeat as desired!

Title: Successful TARDIS Navigation Is in the Eye of the Beholder
Characters: Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon
Word count: 39


The TARDIS lurches gyroscopically, and oh heavens, they're on the floor again, Jamie's kilt rucked up, the Doctor's head on his bare thigh.

"Can ye no learn to steer?"

"Terribly sorry, Jamie. Let me try it one more time."

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

*snerk* He would, wouldn't he. :)

Awww, Dodo. ;_;

Title: Best Friend Forever
Characters: Steven, Hi-Fi
Words: 35
Rating: G

The panda lay in a disused room in the TARDIS, down where he'd fallen behind the bed, forgotten and long-covered in dust-bunnies.

Somewhere out among the stars, a tall man named his first child Hi-fi.

[amaresu]

I got a little teary-eyed. Poor Hi-Fi.

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

Aw, that was so sweet! Though poor Hi-Fi, left alone in the TARDIS...:(

"Something alien, Doctor. Not to worry; we're going to blow it up."

"What the devil? Brigadier, you're a pompous ass."

Ka-BLOOM!

"Good God man, that was my TARDIS!"

"Was it? Well, the damn thing didn't work anyway."

[eve11]

Bwa ha ha ha! Loved it :)

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

O.O Oh my. Good thing she's indestructible!

Tile: The Universe-Jumping Cloning Blues
Characters: Jenny, Elli Quinn
Words: 29
Notes: Vorkosigan Saga crossover

Jenny's first mission with the Dendarii Free Mercenaries was a raid on House Bharaputra. Admiral Elli Quinn made a mental note to introduce her to Mark Vorkosigan one day.

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

I really must get round to reading this Vorkosigan Saga what everyone keeps talking about. :) I love the idea of Jenny becoming a mercenary and putting her skills to good use, though.

These are a bit like potato-chips, aren't they?

Title: Another Day, Another Hostile Planet
Characters: Ian, Barbara, One
Words: 29
Rating: G

"It could be dangerous," the Doctor said happily scuttling out the door. "Hoo hoo hoo!"

"Of course it is," grumbled Barbara.

"You go first. I'll save you," Ian sighed.

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

These are a bit like potato-chips, aren't they?

They are! It's impossible to write just one!

Aw, Ian, such a gentleman. :) And of course One would just go rushing in and trust his wits to get him out of whatever danger there was...

Title: The Beast Within
Pairing: Four/Leela
Word Count: 18

Summary: Leela finally has her way with the Doctor. Or vice versa.

As she tossed her hair back, Leela moaned, "Doctor, I believe it is you who is the savage!"

Oooh, I think I love you for writing Four/Leela. *Sexy* Four/Leela at that. :D

[amaresu]

Title: Love, Loss, and Moving On
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Peri, Erimem
Summary: Peri tries to hide how much she misses Erimem.
Word Count: 13

The Doctor never finds empty canisters of liquid nitrogen by the pool anymore.

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard the audios, so I know very little about Erimem, but now I'm all curious - is there a reference I'm missing, or am I just slow on the uptake?

Title: Photography in the Mid-Twentieth Century: An Overview
Ship: Zoe/Isobel (from The Invasion)
Words: 31
Rating: PG
Summary: The archives contain the work of the era’s most prominent photojournalists, including early work never before made public.

Zoe is the girl in the photograph, laughing at the camera, too innocent with joy to play the coquette.

Zoe is the library archivist, and wonders where this picture came from.

[vann.livejournal.com]

Ah, marvelous. ;_; I wonder if furthe examination would reveal memories, or if she'd just dismiss it as some distant relative.

Title: Reunions are Better When There's Two
Characters: Two, Jamie
Words: 33
Rating: G

"Ah, there you are, my boy. At least I'm not too late. Come along!" He reached for a hand.

The muck-spattered Highlander bleared up at him from among the dead Red-coats. "Who're you?"

Oh, Jamie...:'( *cuddles them both*

[amaresu]

Hee, very Jo-ish.

“What, don’t I get a kiss? I’ve been really, really good!”

They were both stranded now, people were hypnotised and dying.

It was so much nicer than being alone.

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

Wow. I wasn't expecting that from the title - the fic itself was a punch in the gut. Nice going.

[eve11]

Title: Always on My Mind
Word count: 40



One moment, Donna stood at Tesco's freezers thinking, P'raps banana ice cream... bananas are good!. The next, she'd built a neural stabilizer from six potatoes and a back massager. Time to give the flipping Doctor a piece of her mind.

[yamx]

Yes! Go, Donna!
